The Roundup and Purge of the Awoken
If there is one thing that should be learned from history, from governments that have gone down this path, it is this: Secretive prisons for “second-tier” terrorists are often followed by secretive prisons for “third-tier terrorists” and “fourth-tier terrorists,” until one by one, brick by brick, the legal wall separating “terrorist” from “dissident” or “undesirable” or “deplorable” has crumbled.

Another Expensive Solar Scheme Bites the Dust
The purveyors of solar energy are working overtime to spin the now official failure of the Crescent Dunes thermal solar plant in central Nevada. The contracts to purchase the electricity from the constantly broken plant will be voided. Bloomberg Businessweek claims that Crescent Dunes was obsoleted by technological advances in the form of photovoltaic based solar plants. That is nonsense and misses the whole point of the Crescent Dunes project. It also misses the reality that all utility-scale solar is a failure — not marginal, not growing into being practical, but a total and complete failure.
...the electricity was sold to NV Energy for $135 per megawatt-hour, or about six times as much as it would cost to generate the same amount of electricity in existing natural gas plants.
... The weaknesses of solar energy are well known among the gurus of renewable energy. But those weaknesses are rarely exposed in a blunt way. Criticizing the powerful solar industry is dangerous for people who are suspectible to economic or political pressure. So the problems tend to be downplayed, or it is suggested that the problems will be solved by future improvments. There is a large contingent of federal legislators who suppport renewable energy and support the climate disaster narrative. Scientists at the Energy Information Administration or the National Renewable Energy Laboratory are unlikely to pick a fight with congressmen or senators.
The media, with honorable exceptions, are generally unable to understand technical matters and so end up parroting the press releases of the industry.

to Those Chicago 2020 travelers:
2019:
This was created using a couple different databases. If you take the time to count the dots, it comes out to 517, slightly above the HeyJackass.com official count of 515, but it is essentially the same Medical Examiner data.
But you can certainly get a feel for what areas of Chicago to avoid.
